brake master cylinder stoppers
Does anyone have this fitted and does it actually provide day to day real world benifits ? I've read that the subaru bulkhead isn't the strongest but it takes a lot of force to distort a bit of metal, maybe it would eliminate a little movement ? I can see under track conditions and hard driving it would be of use but am wondering if it would just be a placebo. I know braided lines would make mores sense but i don't really have the time at the mo to upgrade. Should i take a punt at a 35 quid part or save my money for other things ?

Reading 'Check Engine' codes on a 1999 Forester
I'd say cats. Thats whats happened to mine. Threw up a 02 sensor code while hammering up the m1 the other week cleared it and reset ecu now fine (touch wood) . My emissions were out for the m.o.t but managed to sort a solution just saving money for new cat & exhaust.

front o2 sensor
Trouble is he went of the vin number. Dont know weather it's due to being a gl model on some data bases. Anyway after much deliberation are we saying this is number one o2 and the smallee one behind cat number 2 is no 2 ? I have a cat in the down pipe and one in the mid section. Sounds right ?

front o2 sensor

front o2 sensor
What's the o2 looking sensor just behind me turbo in downpipe ?

front o2 sensor
Rigt just tried the classic ecu reset procedure. Plugged leads in depressed acc and then let out half way released after a couple seconds. Check engine light never stayed on and after about 30 seconds driving just gave a continious short on off blink. I take it this is reset ? Got home plugged in and ut just does the contious on off quick blink. Does ghis mean it's clear as the page i was reading states conflicting info

front o2 sensor
No worries thanks for the info it's a start, i'm guessing the no1 is the 'upstream' sensor. Just seems strange that its only started playing up after the mot. I'll get it up on a ramp and have a look a bit more when i have the time
-
front o2 sensor
Sort of ish ! I'm at work so only had chance to drop the undertray and shine a torch round on my 'dinner break' so what we're saying is that it goes into the front of the 1st cat ? I know the cats are dead so i doubt i'll do any more damage to it.i'll see how it goes just been quoted 160 bits for a new one
-
front o2 sensor
Can someone point me in the right direction as where to find this ? Had a poke around under car can't see it. Do i have to remove any heat sheilds ? Gonna start by inspecting it re setting ecu before i change it chepest options 1s Cheers Picture would be nice too.

But i wasb't worried until driving back from sheff the cell light came on then went off after about 5 mins. Read code when got home comong up as 3 long and two short flashes. 32 ? O2 sensor ?

idle dopping
Right it only happens occasionally and when taking the car out of gear doesn't matter if clutch is depressed or not. Knock out of gear and it will drop to around 500 rpm. Is there an electrical connection on gear selector to tell the car when in/out of gear ? Thought it may have been a clutch switch but i'm not convinced
